Why is it that this Chick Fil A issue has only made me want a chicken sandwich more than ever? I’m not sure I even understand the controversy. All the CEO did was say that he believed in the traditional definition of marriage. Hundreds of people say this every day. Granted…who the heck knows what the “traditional” definition of marriage is anyway? Wasn’t it that woman are property? That said…even if the the guy believed that, what difference does it make what he thinks inside his head? As long as he doesn’t discriminate against hiring or serving people of a different sexual orientation then it shouldn’t matter his beliefs. (kind of ironic, huh?) In-N-Out Burger and California Chicken Cafe have very religious owners…who cares as long as the food is good? 50% of America doesn’t believe in same sex marriage…are you going to protest every other person who walks down the street? All that’s going to accomplish is heightening adversity from the other side.
My problem with the controversy is how Chick Fil A handled it…especially when the Muppets pulled out. Instead of owning their position and letting it go. They tried to spin it. First it started with fake signs about defective toys…to make it seem like The Muppets were the bad guys. That was a douche bag move. Then sending the fake people out onto Facebook and Twitter. That’s douchey times two. That is deceptive and in my opinion, far worse than their private ideologies. At least their ideologies were their honest opinions. This campaign of spin is just straight up lies.
Guess I’ll stick to Freebirds and Five Guys this weekend.
